When He's Married to Mom: How to Help Mother-Enmeshed Men Open Their Hearts to True Love and Commitment

This book was phenomenal. The author could not have written it better if he new my ex-fiance personallly. Dealing with a mother enmeshed man is extremely difficult, especially if you do not know the underlying issues. The author was very pragmatic in his case studies and helped to put my past relationship in a much better perspective. I no longer wonder if it was me or something I did why my relationship did not work out. I feel vindicated. It helps to know that this is a real problem experience by many other people. I would recommend this book to anyone dealing with a man who has an unhealthy relationship with his/her mother.

I feel everyone should read this book because it will give people a new profound perspective on the superficial stereotype of the Mommas Boy Label.I feel it will also help women be aware of these type of men who grew up in a dysfuntional relationship .Since I read this book Ive been able to understand why my ex was the way he was.I also have been able to forgive him.

I swear this book was made for me. I have been dealing with a husband who is an only child, who is not only spoiled but married to his parents. His mother is very manipulative and controlling and my husband has been dealing with her for so long, he knows no other way to be. This book is great for learning tools to deal with your anger and frustration, without blowing up. I still can't let myself be close to my mother-in-law but I am learning to control my anger that was eating me up inside. I often told my husband that he was married to his mom and not me, and I was right!

An excellent read. Some books just have exactly the thing you are looking for! This is the only book you will need if you are trying to understand your man who seems to place more importance to Mom and her emotions than yours and his! I sympathesize with these men because they never had a chance at individuation! That's why they are the way they are! I hope these men would have the courage to analyze the info given in this book and seek help before it's too late. It's challenging for the women with these men to bring up the subject at all! I would like to hear and learn from other women if and how they were sucessful in helping their men throuh their issues.

I had read our library's copy of this book. It was informative and had easy-to-read case studies of men who are enmeshed with their mothers. More importantly, it contains suggestions on how to help the guys out of this dilemna or helps the gals see when it's time to end the relationship. I just ordered two copies for gifts. Ladies, if you've run into too many 'momma's boys' or 'commitment-phobes," this could be the book for you.
